Question

Allison’s family spent $38.78 on school supplies. If Allison paid 1/4 of the bill, how much did she pay?

Answer 1

$9.70

Explanation:

You can do this question several way on a calculator:

1/4 × 38.78

OR

.25 × 38.78

OR (I like this one)

38.78 ÷ 4

All these calculations will give you the result 9.695

Since this is a real-world money problem, we would round this number to 9.70.

Allison paid $9.70.

Answer 2

Answer:$9.695

Explanation:

1/4 is 0.25 so this means Allison is paying 25% of the bill. Then all you have to do is times 38.78 with 0.25 and you get $9.695 or $9.70.
